Frank Elder Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Any B body from 1968 to 1974 will fit your P 15. Edited November 18, 2020 by Frank Elder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurice wade Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Sorry, B body? That means nothing to me. Can you be a little more explicit? How about the drive shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road runner, gtx, satellite, coronet, charger, super bee, those are b bodies........so I'm going to take a wild guess and say you are not a Mopar guy. Welcome aboard you will catch the mopar bug sooner or later....lol! Edited November 19, 2020 by Frank Elder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Cherokee stuff works also. Spring perches will likely need repositioning with most of them. Can't talk about drive shaft as mine is still stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Knecht Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I’m replacing the rear in my ‘48 Plymouth with a ‘98 Grand Cherokee unit. It’s a Dana 44 with limited slip and 3.73’s and will handle a good amount of power from my engine swap. Flange to flange it’s the same length. Just have to remove the old link suspension brackets and make some leaf spring mounts. Plus it’s an immediate upgrade to disc brakes. But I’m also upgrading to front disc as well.

greg g Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Tractor Supply sells prefabbed spring mounts in their trailer repair area for not much money, u bolts and other hard ware. Other similar stores carry the same stuff. You may need to radius the axle arches a bit but they should be fine for your job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 unless you have a very accurate means to cut the spring perches to the radii of the axle.....best buy the correct perches from the get go...or you will be facing a thrust alignment when finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
